Normative Culture is a way of behaving, rather than a system of rules.

Normative Culture

All of our staff are trained in the sociological model of Normative Culture. It is a way of behaving rather than a system of rules, and it's main concept is the use of peer pressure in a positive way among students and staff members to create shared expectations regarding attitudes and behavior. This concept can be used in school as well as at home.
